James Halliday
Reviewed January 2026From Shamrock and Te Whare Ra vineyards located in 70% Awatere and 30% Wairau, with a savvy 18% barrel fermentation. Holy moly, this is simply heavenly, with starfruit, pulpy pomelo segments and glistening limes. Summer frangipanis and lotus flowers. Citrus manages to have the high tones of lime but base tones of ruby grapefruit, and acidity hums, grounded deep within the fabric of the wine. It's slippery, slightly salty and luxurious while uplifting. Every touch point of flavour and texture has been considered and if this is not on your wine list or in your cellar as a modern day representation of Marlborough's innate ability with sauvignon blanc than shame on you. Flippin' heck it’s good. Closure: Screw cap. 13.5% alcohol.

It's finely scented on the nose, showing grapefruit, passionfruit, lemongrass, and oatmeal characters. The palate displays excellent weight and fine flow, splendidly supported by linear mouthfeel and beautifully pitched acidity. Harmonious and structured with a saline texture, finishing persistent and mouth-watering. The wine combines exuberant varietal flavours with fine, mouth-coating textures, making it sensually satisfying.

Fresh and vibrant sauvignon blanc with very expressive, generous flavours of gooseberry, citrus and cucumber along with juicy layers of accessible complexity in the form of cherry tomatoes, elderflower and warm, turned earth. The delicious, mouthfilling flavours cascade over the palate right to the zesty, fruit-driven yet dry finish. Unpretentious and charming wine for enjoying over the next couple of years. *Recommended* (SW)

Wine Advocate
The 2024 Sauvignon Blanc comprises a blend of fruit that is estate grown and certified organic and purchased fruit (from a close grower in the Awatere Valley) that is certified as sustainably farmed. The wine offers passionfruit, pink grapefruit, lemon oil, and green leafy herbs on the nose and very attractive chalky phenolic grip in the mouth. This beautiful wine is restrained, textural, juicy and long. (EL)
